What I [Worked] Wednesday
Let’s jump right in!
What I’ve been eating:
Breakfast
Are you sick of seeing my yogurt bowls yet? You should be. I basically have one of these for breakfast every time my roommate is still sleeping, and I don’t want to wake her up by the sound of my jet engine vita mix.
- 1 container of Chobani 0% plain yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 packet of stevia
- Sprinkle of Bear Naked Granola
I really need to start switching things up. But when you like what you like… why change?
Lunch
I wish it didn’t look like someone poo-ed on my eggs. This was 1/2 cup egg whites, a wedge of laughing cow cheese, cooked in a skillet and topped with salsa and red pepper flakes. YUM. And super protein packed. This was consumed with a salad and many many snacks.
Dinner
Nope, nothing new here folks. I’m still obsessed with the sweet potato + almond butter combo. I also added a tiny bit of almond milk, and some cinnamon and stevia.
With food, I don’t mind getting in a rut groove. I can eat the same things over and over without getting tired of them. But I don’t feel that way about my workout. I get bored really easily.
I’ve been feeling bored with my regular workout routine, so I’ve been trying to mix things up. My goal is to do a different type of workout everyday.
What I’ve Been Working
1. Jillian Michael’s Yoga DVD
(Please see my formal apology to yoga here)
I love this, because it’s only 30 minutes so I have no excuse not to squeeze it in on a busy day. And it really gets me sweating.
2. Personal Training
I’m lucky enough to have access to free personal trainers at my gym, so I’m starting to take advantage of this more. (Bring it on, Jason!) I definitely work harder when someone is pushing me!
3. Exercise On Demand
If you have FiOS or Direct TV (and maybe others?) then you have a whole bunch of free workout videos on demand! I didn’t realize this until a few weeks ago, but it’s awesome! Some of them are just 10 minute segments, but some are full workouts! If I’m not feeling Jillian, these have been a good alternative.
4. Exercise Classes
I’m trying to get back into taking classes at the gym. They don’t usually work with my schedule, but I really need to get into it! Having a room full of other people pushing themselves is so motivating for me!
5. New Machines
My trainer showed me how to use a few machines I’d never tried before (hello, shoulder press!) and I finally tackled the Stairmaster. I know that sounds stupid, but I honestly couldn’t figure out how to use that dang stair stepping machine. Good news, I figured it out and sweated my buns off yesterday.
Ahhh yummeh eats, i have been meaning to try sweet potato and nut butter for too long, tonight i might just loose my v card. yeeeeeah buddy.
I feel you on breakfast..for the last month or so, I’ve been eating the same combo of overnight oats almost every morning….if it ain’t broke, don’t fix right?! Something new I’ve been trying (and loving) lately is my spiraliser…awesome!
The sweet potato/almond butter combo sounds good! I love both separately but never thought to try them together!
Free personal training sessions?!?! How could you NOT take advantage?? It is always better to have someone else pushing you!
Haha, I’ve had almost that exact breakfast just about every day for the last three months, love it!
I’ve just given Jillian a go (as it were!) for the first time this week – my calves are still aching 🙂
i don’t think yogurt bowls ever get old…they’re so versatile and easy to change things up just by using different fruit or different toppings!
love the sweet tater, too. I munch on those babies like they’re going out of styleee.
xo.
I always see sweet potatoes and AB! I gotta try it!
Just found your blog and love it! Your yogurt bowl with so many blueberries makes me hungry for a second breakfast 🙂
Aw I’m glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I hear ya on the food groove front! I could eat the same breakfast every day for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy (ok, I might need something different eventually 😉 ).
I just tried a kabocha squash this past weekend and it was AMAZING!! Unfortunately, they don’t always have them at my whole foods 🙁
<3 <3
I HAVE to track one down! I’ve been dying to try it!
